out this month is in heavy suit, to be

certain class of swell dressers who dis
like the overcoat, and many of them
will go almost an entire season without
wearing one except when they put on

dear boy, that there are men in this
world who have plenty of money, but
who are yet SO utterly friendless-
is i'll the possession of true friends
that they would give almost to the ut
termost farthing of their wealth could
they, by so doing, buy the friendship,
the esteem even, of those whose friend
ship and goodwill is worth having.
Money is u great power in the world,
George, but there are some things so
precious that even money cannot buy
them. Among these are virtue, hon
esty, love, and clear conscience.
Money can supply all mans physi-
cal wants; it can indeed 90 far toward
catering to his intellectual enjoyment,
toward his comfort and betterment in
a thousand ways; but there are some
longings of the heart, the souls higher
and better aspirations, that money can
not crafty. The millionaire standing
by the coffin containing the clay of a
darling son, is no richer, his money
Terrors than do the rags of the pauper
All his wealth cannot exempt him or
his from the common lot of humanity /;
it may buy him finer coffin, a grander
tomb, but, after all, his flesh is food
for the worms, and the succeeding gen.
Grafton forget that such a one ever
lived or had being on the face of the
earth.
The man who invests his money in
trying to alleviate the sufferings of his
poorer and more unfortunate fellow
creatures; who gives bread to the hun
CRY, roof to the homeless, and cloth
ing to the naked, gets far greater in
terest than does the close-fisted old
miser who loans his thousands on rail
road stock, or on first mortgages on the
best real estate. The true philanthro-
pist, the practical helper, is, after all,
the happiest of men. When o great
man dies now, the first question usual
ly asked is, "What did he do for hui
manity?" If the answer is Nothing I"
then the world doesn't take the trouble
to inquire any further into his record.
That answer tells the story. He lived
for himself; he took no interest, be-
yond selfish one, in the world, and
humanity cannot, therefore, afford to
bother with him. On the other hand,
had the man, though penniless, been
known as friend to his fellows, his
memory liveth forever, and little chill
dren are taught to lisp his name in
loving accents. True friendship is the
crown of life. Bear this in mind, my
dear boy, and never sink the noblest
things of life to the more paltry value
by which some meas re all things, that
is, dollars and cents. Yours, in sincere
friendship, UNCLE SAM.
